Slim 0 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Drove my car home at 2am last night, everything was fine.Went to drive it 10 minutes ago, fired up fine, as soon as I took my foot off the gas, the revs just died, and it keeps doing it, need to keep my foot on the gas to keep the engine running. Almost crashed it trying to take it round the block when it died midway through a corner and the power steering shut down.Anyone have an idea what's wrong? !sad Link to post Share on other sites

Slim 0 Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Found the problem, one of the wires on the throttle body plug had worn a bit, replaced that, removed the fault, car's running fine.Thanks for the help... Link to post Share on other sites

Slim 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 It is indeed, although having to "break in" to the local VW dealer to use their Vag Com machine wasn't so easy, had to use a cable tie on the throttle cable to make it idle. Got there though. Link to post Share on other sites
